Court Takes Stern Action Against
Tactics of Ruef’ e Lawyers.
GOES TO HIGHEST COURT.
POSTOFFICE DEFICIT.
San Francieco, Nov. 18.—The trial
of Abraham Ruef, interrupted by the
•hooting o f Assistant District Attor­
ney Francis J. Heney in the court­
room, will be resumed at 9 o'clock
this morning where it was halted last
Friday afternoon by the bullet o f the
assassin. Judge William P. Lawlor
yesterday denied the application of
counsel for Ruef for a change of
venue to some other city or town in
the state; denied also in quick succes­
sion the motions for a continuance
of thirty days until public feeling sub­
sided, for the dismissal of the jury
and the empanelment o f a new one,
and finally ruled against the defense
on the request made to interrogate
the trial twelve as to whether any of
them was prejudiced against the de­
fense as a result of the tragedy in the
courtroom.
Brushing aside all motion and tech­
nicalities interposed by the defense,
the court announced that the trial
would proceed this morning, and that
it would countenance no further de­
lays.
The action o f the court followed
the filing o f 37 counter-affidavits by
the prosecution, which in general
terms denied many o f the allegations
made by Ruef and his counsel in their
affidavits yesterday in support of
their application for a change of
venue, and set forth that no excite­
ment or turbulence prevailed; that
neither Ruef nor his attorneys were
threatened with violence or their lives
endangered, and finally, that no con­
dition existed that would prevent the
defendant from having a fair and im­
partial trial.
